Late 20th century A.D. A polychrome painting presenting a grand building in a rural setting, two guards seated on the ground outside, smoking a hookah together, a third man smoking alone by a small fire; inside the palace, a man and a woman gazing at each other adoringly in bed, intricate detailing to the architecture, flora and fauna; perhaps a royal lifestyle scene; painted on an old manuscript page with dense lines of handwritten script on the reverse. 11 grams, 20.5 x 15 cm (8 x 6 in.). Personal collection of Harmadar Singh Thind; thence by descent. Private family collection of a West London gentleman.
